- Angel Mom
Today on my birthday
You were home when I arrived
You were standing in the doorway
When I pulled into the drive
An excitement came over me
And I rushed out of the car
And I jumped up
To be carried in your arms
- Baby Boy
Because my baby boy
he's got my heart in wraps
better believe my baby knows he's met his match
oh yes my lover boy
he always got my back
if ever an adversary attacks and that's a fact.

- Baby Doll
Honey, there's a funny feeling 'round my heart,
And it's bound to drive your mama wild
It must be something they call the Cuban Doll,
It weren't your mama's angel child
I went to see the doctor the other day, he said I's well as well could be
But I said, "Doctor, you don't know really what's worrying me"
I want to be somebody's baby doll so I can get my loving all the time
- Big Fish
I've made up my mind
Iâm leavin' this town
Iâm leavin' this town
You wonât find me look around
After twenty years of carvin'
My name in the wet cement
Hang your head down and lament
- Born To
Held all within these flesh walls
Pair of dice and domino
Seven fingers and thirteen toes
Wind her up and watch her go
Spin her out of dust into rock and fire
Oh Holy water
Throw her to the earth
Through the burning air
- Call Upon Rest
Lay your head on my breast close your eyes and call upon rest. Your could be my baby child, how tenderly I feel about you. And I can see for miles and miles the foreign land in my mind. And would you come here be near me...lay awake with me till dawn breaks. And take my love no price to pay...I don't wanna make you mine, I just wanna hold you baby so fine. Lay your head on my breast close your eyes and call upon rest. I have let down I have let down I have let down a wall I have let down. We fall and humble down to grace. Boy you take me down since you endeared me to you all of my pain has gave way. And love has healed my wounded dove. Boy you take me down. Lay your head on my breast close your eyes and call upon rest.
- City Bird
City bird, city bird
Fly away from my window, from my window
'Cause you don't sing
Like the birds from home sing
Your song is dying
I set the table
For the ghosts in my home, my home
- Death Row
Narrowly, I escaped inevitable utter
And total ruin, though not left unscathed
My name and face left intact by benevolent cowardice
We wore our Sunday best encircled your chrysalis
But you slept through the crisis
You'll take a breath, you'll take your very first breath
You'll take a breath, once you've inhaled water
- Deeper Devastation
I don’t trust anyone
Not you
And the closer you come
Deeper devastation
I’m a baby bird
I’m a hungry bird
And I feed from your gut
- Dig This Record
Dig this record
Dig this record now
Dig it like you never dug one before cuz its so far out
Find your lover
Lay your lover down
Make a moment to remember and relive through this sound
Dig it out of the basement now
- Dreams in the Hollow
Why do we
want to be
ballerinas when we grow up
when we grow up
little boys dream the night away
with fighting fires
when we grow up

- Enemy
Beautiful
alone with my enemy
and share a bitter cup
of poisoning
my countenance
to see his face in mine
and follow every line
back to my enemy
- Feast Of The Heart
There’s a light switch
Baby you turned it on
Don’t you ever leave me
Here in the dark
And there’s a red room
Deep in my house
You come and meet me
And I’ll lay down
- Footfall to the Path
As every hand I've ever held
Like water moves from me
And every mouth I've ever kissed
Like open doors closing
When you say hello, I hear goodbye
And feel your hand in mine
When my empty bed is cold again
- Four Dreams
Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on my pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where
We’ll go
- Havoc in Heaven
Red ribbon on witch we ride
Carry us over hori-
zon as the sun setting night
Puts on a phantom cloak
Sing voilet light and evoke
The protection that violet emotes
Fasten your fo-
- Hero
It wasn't the leprichan-it wasn't the easter bunny-it wasn't santa clause-with his cider paws-and his bag of coal-that stole my child-made me grow old. The man is just a man like any-the man is just a man. The man is just a man like any-the man is just a man. It wasn't the day go down-it wasn't the burning sound-it wasn't years go by and mama died and went under ground-that stole my child made me grow old. The man is just a man like any-the man is just a man. The man is just a man like any-the man is just a man. Now daddy was a man like the heroes on t.v.-until I caught him chasing a cat up a tree. And he made the world go round-he made the sun go down-the day I met my dad was the day I met gravity. The day I met my dad was the day that I touched down. Touched down. Touched down. Touched down. The man is just a man like any-the man is just a man. The man is just a man like any-the man is just a man.
Do as I say to do-not as you see me do-well I saw you do it-saw your soul go down in hell-it's just as well-better than lies. The man is just a man like any-the man is just a man. The man is just a man like any-the man is just a man. Now daddy was a man like the heroes on t.v.-until I caught him chasing the cat up a tree.
And he made the world go round-he made the sun go down-they day I met my dad was the day that I met gravity-the day I met my dad was the day that I touched down. Touched down. Touched down. Touched down.
- Hunting My Dress
and the tall trees all have fell down
and they scattered seeds on the ground
and one is lost and one is found
water is moving underground
when i was a young girl
i would sleep in a tall tree
on the down of bending boughs
- Love And Love Again
Comes the sun
Heaven's rays
And the stormers are gone
And the white flag is raised
Golden days
And the city is in love again
And we dream
In a daze
- Love Is All We Have
The night before the night she came
katrina the hurricane
ohhh was calm
calm for a land untame
that spill the boarders of new orleans
ohhh was calm
the plow boys play their old favorite "the city's on parade"
on parade
- Moon Rock Needle
Dey do do dat, dey do dat dough don't dey dough
(They do do that, they do that, though don't they though)
You got food at your house
Food at your house
Let's go to your house
- Murder Of Birds
I'm not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
Shifting my shape
When your tongue finds the words
Like I hate you when I
Love you the most
Love you the most
- My Boo
In my chest
I have a cage
Wrapped with a golden wreath
In the cage
I have a a bird
Can't present it to give it
For the moment
You return to me
- Ode To Banksy
My pencil is dull
My pencil is dull
Theres not much lead left in my pencil
My marker ran dry
Was a scribblin night and theres not much lead left in my pencil
Theres not an activity at all
Theres no wheels a turnin in my skull
In my skull in my skull
- Old Fear of Father
I love my boys more than I love my girl
Try not to show it, she knows like I knew
I have my father's legs, long kissed with summer
Old fear of Father keeps me in Mother's mirror
Sing to my boys, back to your own bed, girl
Cold fills the bottle, he'll get the swaddling and my milk
I have my mother's gaze, pastures and towers
Soft drawing him near to her down cast severe
- Passage's End
There's a house in the middle of the ocean
You can see it when the waves dive
Then they rise like furious mountains
Swallowing the girl inside it
You and I are connected by a wire
I feel what you feel
The hum is affection, pulse is desire
Anger is rasping, dissonance is fear
- Phonograph
I fell in love
with a brilliant boy
I gave him my heart
when he captured my voice
he carried it cross the sea
how did he
tangibly
- seed of wonder
Once my love stood still like a stagnant well for so long, you could hear
the song of spiders - strumming fibers
calling her to the web
my river sits in ebb
the little ones lean over - laughter echoes
bounce down the dark until it hits the floor
singin come on baby come on child - call your flo
like a seed of wonder - faith of mustard
- Silverscreen
Stolen crown
pillow down
all tangled in my hair
evening gown
the lights downtown
all dangle in the air
the gates of heaven open
- Snowglobe
In the deep Wyoming snow
Water runs over rocks
Like blood and bone below
her long white robe
eyes alive with stars
of brighter light of hope
we have all come home
- Songs of Old
Turn the key in the iron lock
Of the old oak door
Lean into its passages
With all my weight
And enter
Immediately my olfactory senses it’s home
Paper thin and paraffin
- Summertime
Corn is gettin high
and the well is getting low
fields are getting dry
i'm gonna catch a lizard's eye
so i got to lay low
playing in the rye
la la la
summer summertime summer
- The Kingdom
All of the falling on the ground
Holder in ground
I lay down a shrine and I
Come with the autumn to tear it down
Orange and brown and I lay a soft
Down for all the waiting old
And thine brethren
Bathing bones and brine separate
- Time Capsule
The time capsule we buried in the yard
Is brittle rust and swallowed by the roots
Where the past gathers, old ghosts commune
They found a life in me and divided me in two
The moment you reach out to take hold of beauty
Is the moment that she turns to go (the time capsule)
And all its prison guards
Turned rusted earth and all its jailbirds too
- Tulip
Ada, my rarest bud from the desert valley*
Your hair of fire and skin of snow
Have coursed me to the heights of the desert mountains
In search of the cure for a rampant fever
Your beauty's power, it plagues me now
I come and scour the land for the desert flower
For beauty and perfume I'd stake my house and my lands
- When I'm Asleep
when im asleep
you gotta bring the bread to the table
you gotta bring the bread on home
so you dance for the rain and the sun and the wind
and you pray for your crops to grow
and every morning till sundown
you work your hands to the bone
you keep your head high and your eyes wide
- Whispering Light
And we walk the road as long as the road goes
And we try to dodge the rock the valley throws
Revealer
Caught a fever
We all have a sinking stone
Ba la la la
- Wintersong
Early in the year
Feeling
Fade away
Something has clearly gone today
Don't know what I can do
But I know
I know
I know
